I watched Angel Beats, and I expect great things from this new Fate franchise. However, I really urge other readers to disregard critics, who by one or another work already take the director as being bad. Ishiguro Kyohei directed the acclaimed His Lie in April, however, was also the director of Occultic Nine. Everyone knows that Occultic Nine was not well run by him, even so, that does not make his previous direction a bad thing. I think that relying on only a handful of works to underestimate a director is a mistake.
